Your-parents-can-probably-handle-this simple
Turning the mesh points into supercharged Nest Minis is a really clever value-add that also stands to help improve signal strength through public placement

The editors didn't like
Only two ethernet jacks on the router
No Wi-Fi 6 support for future proofing
Similar mesh systems with comparable coverage can be had for less than half as much. Unlike the range extenders
The Nest Wifi Router only comes in white
And it only includes a single spare Ethernet jack
Short range
Speaker doesn't get loud enough
Minimal configuration options
No WiFi 6
Evolutionary not revolutionary upgrade over Google Wifi
No smart speaker functionality on core router unit
Ethernet and USB are conspicuously absent
Only two Ethernet jacks on the router and none on the Points
Two apps are needed to access some of the advanced features
With the router itself going for $170
And points $150 a piece
Even with bundle savings things get expensive
Quickly
Though largely good
There are a couple hiccups and conflicts that spring up with the pair of apps you'll need to control the router
Pricier than its predecessor
No ethernet on the mesh points
Built-in voice assistant may rankle folks protecting their privacy

Good performance, Google Assistant with music, Easy setup, Small and unobtrusive
Short range, Speaker doesn't get loud enough, Minimal configuration options
The Nest WiFi takes a big step ahead of the Netgear Orbi with a much smaller size, higher overall performance, and a set up that's simple and straightforward. It also has a Google Home smart speaker built in, giving it a leg up on the Orbi, which requires...
